This is my Honda TRX 500R aka. the mutt. There are pieces from all kinds of different machines on this thing. The frame is a hame made '86 250R replicala. The rear suspension and brakes are off an '85 ATC 250R. The front end is from a 2000 400ex with Burgard +2 a-arms that have been modified to fit the shocks from a 2008 KFX 450. The steering stem is homemade using the bar clamps off a 1975 Honda XL 350. At the heart of the beast is a 1986 CR 500 motor with a 1987 long-rod crank using a 5mm cylinder spacer custom made by Cometic gasket.

Just picked me up another Honda. It's an '04 TRX 450R. It leaks oil like a sieve and needs some new front tires, but I got it for next to nothing.

Yeah, it was a really good deal, it runs strong and the oil leak was just an improperly installed valve cover gasket. The idiot couln't figure out why it was leaking so much oil, so he just kept tightening the valve cover bolts because he couldn't figure out why it kept leaking, so he sold it to me because he couldn't figure it out. I took it home and when I finally got around to checking it out, it took me 30 seconds to find the leak, you could plainly see that the gasket was not seated properly in the groove.

      03 Recon 250TM (Manual) locking up
      By cavry
      O3 sat a while. Engine is running fine. I got it into neutral, did some general tune-up and cleaning then pulled the shifter pedal up and it locked up and will not release into neutral again.  Does anyone have experience with this problem?  Thanks for looking and any help.

      2000 honda recon battery charging
      By Mikey509
      Hey guys, so I've been messing with my quad, and between all the starts, the battery is dead. Is there a certain way to charge these? Can I just throw a trickle charger on it and call it a day? can i also jump it like a normal car with a battery pack or is that to much voltage

      2004 Honda Recon 250 excessive valve chatter
      By DexKing
      I recently got my hands on a free 2004 Recon that the owner had zero information on the machine or the history. Long story short, a little troubleshooting and research revealed i needed to replace the timing chain for it to stay running. when i opened the case, it the chain was so horribly stretched, that the tensioner pivot arm had play between it and the chain! I also found the oil pump chain totally disconnected from the sprocket due to being completely worn out. I tore the whole engine down and rebuilt it from the bottom up finding little things here and there that needed to be replaced. Upon inspecting the top end, i didn't find any bad/excessive play in the crank, rod bearings or wrist pin. Now the machine runs great, but even after 2x adjusting the valves, the chatter is way more than you'd expect from a honda normally. My neighbor is an auto mechanic by trade, and i asked him to take a listen. the look on his face when i started it and it was chattering like that was priceless! He mentioned that maybe the valves themselves might be wore out or stretched. my question here: what all can cause the excessive rattle up in the valve cover aside from valves being out of spec? Everything else seemed to be in decent condition as far as rockers and guides go. I am fairly new to small engine/ATV repairs, but am learning as a hobby and have a fair amount of knowledge with how to do some wrenching. Thanks!
